I just hope they learn how to make controllers. They lost me as a future customer purely because of the controllers. They are hands down the crappiest controllers I have ever used. I'm on our third set for each of 2 switches for my kids. Then I got screwed in the purchasing part because it turns out you can buy licensed controllers that don't have batteries so they have to be connected to the switch, then I learn there are ones that only have a battery in the left controller but not the right. So you cant really play multiplayer properly. Then the way they sorta connect but are actually still connected to the switch that is "off". Then a and b and x and y always seem backwards. It's to the point where one child will only play with an Xbox like controller due to needless frustration. I've never been so disappointed in something that could of been so great, but they skimped that 10% final polish.

Sorry Nintendo, I've owned every console to date but you lost me.. and my kids.
That makes a while since I've read physical books, but the great things I liked when I was a child was books with illustrations. Not the one with a picture every two pages, but one that tries to paint the atmosphere of the books. For short fictions (150 pages), I'm OK with the cover, but for anything longer a few full pages pictures kinda kept me in. It anchored me in the story.

I'd enjoyed The Malazan Book of the Fallen more if I had this edition: https://subterraneanpress.com/erikson-gotm/
My wife can get an hour of gaming out of her gaming laptop. They're good for being able to game in an area of the house where the rest of the family is, even if that means being plugged in at the dining table. Our home office isn't close enough.

Also a gaming laptop is handy if you want to travel and game at your hotel.
> what I believe was just a dumb 60hz notch filter

A simple notch filter won't fix 60 Hz hum. Or, at least, when I've tried to eliminate annoying 60 Hz hum in my own amateur recordings, it's never been very effective. The problem is that the 60 Hz hum isn't a sine wave. It's more like a square, so you've got a bunch of harmonics up the frequency spectrum to worry about too. You can try to also notch out 120, 180, 240, etc. but it starts to get weird sounding fast.

I used to plunge down hard and fast because I liked to see the bubbles.

But I realized less disturbing is better, and I started barely using the plunge - just to catch grounds when pouring.

After a while I went back to pour-over. The flavor is so much better - French press is now used for loose leaf tea and I have a lot more fun plunging.

Data Wrangler: Code-centric viewing/cleaning of tabular data in VSCode
The cheapest point of entry is absolutely not comparable. The cheapest new iPhone on apple.com is $429. The cheapest new Samsung on samsung.com is $199 (They do have a phone listed for $159, but it's button says "Notify Me").

Granted, you may have been leaning very heavily on the dictionary definition of "comparable", in that the two numbers are able to be compared. However, when the conclusion of that comparison is "More than twice the price", I think you should lead with that.

Keep in mind, the iPhone SE is using a 3 year old processor, the Samsung A15 was released 5 months ago with a brand new processor.
I went there, they give me insructions to print labels they'll send me, find a box, pad it appropriately, attach the labels and then ship it.

IIRC, large primes have limited IRAD funding for the most part - in some cases fixed %, so to do research you have to charge more to the Gov. That's just plain a "cost saving measure" enacted by government.

Yup. And 3) is particularly interesting. Lots of companies actually need to hire people who can get things done and who can build user-friendly software, yet they thought they needed to hire people who could turn any O(N^2) algorithms into O(N) or O(Nlog(N)).

And even for Google, leetcode has become noise because people simply cram them.

the problem now is that in 2024, these Office-Space style buildings are getting into their 40s and 50s, and with the glut of new class A office space being made available in more contemporary bright, airy open styles, that's the kind of building that is going to be a struggle to fill with new office tenants or convert to residential.
Mobile can be more efficient. But you're making big tradeoffs. You are very limited in what you can actually run on-device. And ultimately you're also screwing over your user's battery life, etc.
Show HN: Wk – a which-key like popup menu for your key chords (X11/Wayland)
wk provides users with a portable and flexible interface for managing their key chord mappings. Key chords can be built directly into the binary, read from "wks" script files, or even piped in from stdin with the same wks syntax. There is also a wks-mode package for Emacs (https://github.com/3L0C/wks-mode).

I appreciate any feedback you might have about the project and hope you find it useful.

That should be up to the recipient. Every other vendor provides this essential information in order confirmations.

Amazon's refusal to do so means you can't search your E-mail history for purchases (at tax time, for example). Or for warranty info or service. You may not know where you bought a particular item. Or which Amazon account you might have used.

If everyone followed Amazon's anti-customer example, you'd have to log into every E-commerce site you ever bought something from and search your order history... year by year... to find something. Unacceptable BS.

Dzmitry gave a talk at a rust gamedev meetup on Blade.

This ain't my turf so apologies for inaccuracies here. It appears to be a fairly novel attempt to write a graphics library with a semi conventional looking pipeline, that under the hood ends up eskewing a lot of the Vulkan concepts. Instead of per object contexts, it uses global contexts to do most work. Instead of taking resources and binding them into descriptor sets to use across pipelines (tracking state), Blade kind of recreates resources on the fly, lets them get used, and disposed of them.

Kind of interesting philosophy of a complex binding model in Vulkan/WebGPU vs a more direct diy render model?

No question that the throwaway stock switch controllers are absolute trash. It's a shame that one of the best controllers Nintendo has ever made (the Switch Pro Controller) doesn't come with the console and is/was around 60-70$ at launch.

Stings even worse when you consider you'll need to buy at least two of the damn things.

The history of balanced lines (common mode rejection, differential pair, etc.) is fascinating. Apparently the first twists (as in "twisted pair" to pick up external interference as similarly as possible on each conductor) were achieved not within a bundled cable, but between utility poles. Every two spans would constitute a full twist, with two single wires alternating from left to right on the cross member.

But as for the acoustic implementation, even that has a long history. The Dead borrowed the idea from fighter pilot headsets, the only difference being that pilots were contending with a noisy cockpit rather than feedback. Same general idea that the unwanted sound hits both mics somewhat equally while the voice hits both mics somewhat unequally.
I'm most interested in what this means for the next Vision device.

Half the power budget could well translate to a very significant improvement in heat on the device, battery size and other benefits. Could they even dispense with the puck and get the battery back onto the headset for a consumer version that runs at slightly lower resolution and doesn't have the EyeSight feature?

If they could do that for $2000 I think we'd have a totally different ball game for that device.
The common advice is to understand one level above and one level below where you operate.

For example:

If you build computers, you should understand how the individual components are implemented.

If you build computer components, you should understand materials science and electromagnetism.

If you study electromagnetism, you should understand quantum mechanics and relativity.

MuseScore 4.3
Yup, so I've adopted a strategy for my past few desktop builds like this:

- Every time a new ToTL GPU comes out for a new family, buy it at retail price as soon as it launches (so, the first-available ToTL models that were big gains in perf: GTX 1080 Ti, RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 3090, RTX 4090)

- Every other release cycle, upgrade CPU to the ToTL consumer chip (eg on a 12900KS right now, HEDT like ThreadRipper is super expensive and not usually better for gaming or normal dev stuff). I was with Ryzen since 1800x -> 3950x -> 5950x but Intel is better for the particular game I play 90% of the time.

- Every time you upgrade, sell the stuff you've upgraded ASAP. If you do this right and never pay above MSRP for parts, you can usually keep running very high-end hardware for minimal TCO.

- Buy a great case, ToTL >1000w PSU (Seasonic or be quiet!), and ToTL cooling system (currently on half a dozen 140mm Noctua fans and a Corsair 420mm AIO). This should last at least 3 generations of upgrading the other stuff.

- Storage moves more slowly than the rest, and I've had cycles where I've re-used RAM as well, so again here go for the good stuff to maximize perf, but older SSDs work great for home servers or whatever else.

- Monitor and other peripherals are outside of the scope of this but should hopefully last at least 3 upgrade generations. I bit when OLED TVs supported 4K 120hz G-Sync, so I've got a 55" LG G1 that I'm still quite happy with and not wanting to immediately upgrade, though I do wish they made it in a 42" size, and 16:10 would be just perfect.

Over the weekend, I accidentally left my work M3 unplugged with caffeinate running (so it doesn't sleep). It wasn't running anything particularly heavy, but still, on Monday, 80% charge left.

That's mindblowing. Especially since my personal laptop is a Thinkpad X1 Extreme. I can't leave that unplugged at all.

Thanks for the reply, but I've read HN almost daily for years and have been a professional developer for way longer than that. I also just finished an API-definition project that involved a ton of research on API design and code-generation tooling (with OpenAPI in particular).

> That may simply indicate that I’m not popular enough to encounter the problem, of course.

I get no spam and no non-spam email so that probably indicates I am even less popular.
The GIL is an implementation artifact mostly due to the reference counting memory management. Besides phobia towards threads, the Python crowd also seems phobic towards tracing garbage collection. There is an ongoing project to make CPython run without the GIL yet still use reference counting. I wonder how many bugs this will surface or introduce.

Most concurrent Python code that I've written has not been cpu intensive, FWIW. Just an application talking to a bunch of i/o ports or sockets, but mostly idle. My CPU intensive stuff has tended to be single threaded so I can just launch instances in separate processes. YMMV.

Yeah the tooling situation is crazy enough that I don't begin to understand it.
They’ve done it for every single M processor release.

Or at least, a good enough internet connection to send plaintext.

> * when you live in the USA

Even from Australia to USA is just ~300ms of latency for first token and then the whole thing can finish in ~1s. And making that faster doesn't require on-device deployment, it just requires a server in Australia - which is obviously going to be coming if it hasn't already for many providers.
Moto G4 (XT1625) introduced in 2016. I think I got mine in 2017. It was $170 at the time iirc.

I don't even know how much ram my Maemo phones (N900 and later N9) had. They were dog slow though.
People without the "large amount of storage model" need to record video from the camera too.

The justifications I see are to reduce the number of models needed to stock and to keep the purchasing decision simple for customers. These are very good reasons.

Shameless suggestion: Instead of one free workbook, make unlimited free workbooks, but unusable for corporate settings. I'd recommend binary sharing:

- Only I have access (private / personal use)

- The universe has access (open-source use)

But one free workbook still beats the typical 30-day trial.
And they can typically setup their dev environment without a VM, while also getting commercial app support if they need it.

Windows requires a VM, like WSL, for a lot of people, and Linux lacks commercial support. macOS strikes a good balance in the middle that makes it a pretty compelling choice.

Was curious at first but got more disappointed the further I read.

The docs are overly wordy and in desperate need of editing.

It claims it's a language, but it looks more like a DSL on top of Java with non-obvious syntax.

 mediocre espresso maker (https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/blogs/scg-blog/jura-a1-rev...). I push a button, it grinds the coffee and does stuff inside that I can't see, then moments later I have a perfectly average cup of something resembling burnt bean soup. I don't know whether it's megasonically brewed or absolute-zero infused or just wet caffeine pills. Sometimes it's OK, other times it's mediocre, but it's never been excellent or terrible. That's the same kind of consistency my code has, so I'm fine with it.

It comes out lukewarm, hovering somewhere between room temperature and minutes-old vomit. If I want it hot, I microwave it. If I want it cold, I add ice. If I want a cold latte, I add milk. If I want a hot latte, I'm in the wrong house.

It costs less than $1 for a quad shot. It provides caffeine or at least a close-enough placebo effect. What more could an old, washed-out dev ask for?

Yeah, Python is made for non-CPU-intensive, IO-bound concurrent code. But that use case is a great fit for async/event-loop.
That's very interesting. It would explain why the "high level" takes such as papers and articles keep saying crime is plummeting but all the anecdotal accounts are "crime is getting worse and worse and nobody does anything about it".
With respect, I think you're missing the point. No-one doubts that one can print objects which are strong, but it depends on being able to orient the layer lines such that the directions of relative strength and weakness are appropriate for the use case. This is a well-recognised weakness (no pun intended) of 3D printing, even with well-engineered and -set-up printers.

In the case of the hinges you linked to, if you were to set yourself the challenge of printing them standing upright on one thin edge, with the hinge barrel running horizontally, the layers would run parallel to the barrel and ultimately run vertically when attached to a standard door. This would make it likely that the hinges would break much more easily once the weight of a door was applied. Happily, this orientation would be crazy, and the obvious orientation (with the large flat areas flat on the print bed) is a strong one.

Hah, well I have a travel router as well I use for things like hotels, but I wouldn't really want to bring it to a coffeeshop because the setup process is a bit onerous. I need to get the travel router to connect to whatever the coffeshop's wifi is and then get through its captive portal. The last part can be tricky in my experience though it's certainly doable.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the hassle and would instead just rely on an on-device VPN which I now would need to ensure is protected from this type of attack.
Agree. Most office plates have plumbing for the equivalent of four bathrooms, max, all centered near stairs, etc. Figure you would need to 4x the existing number of toilets to make a floor residential and also link to existing central sewage lines. I don't even know what building code even looks like for that in most states.

Plumbing work is not cheap.

Keeping certain books out of school libraries for younger age kids is not a bad idea. Just like preventing children from watching porn is not a bad idea. Parenting is about finding a balance between protection and pushing their boundaries. Schools should be safe places to learn without having to worry about your kid coming home wanting to transition into an asexual raccoon or whatever the hell is trendy that year.
